Default [GAMEPLAY] Allow Blink Dagger on Pudge!


Why do we still have this ban on Blink Dagger for Pudge? Trapping heroes is still doable with many other heroes but we don't ban their skills ( e.g. Toss. ).

Imagine a Pudge with Blink Dagger - a large fat mass of corpses that can instantly pop in and devour you, holy crap! Finished with a point-blank Hook for the win.

Even if there are very strong objections to letting Pudge be able to hook people onto unpassable terrain, why not just make the Blink from dagger unable to blink to spots like those ( like the old Lightning Grapple )?

I support this, although Pudge + Batrider (Firefly) will be abused too much, allowing Pudge to set-up perfect Hook points (especially on top of cliffs).

If it can be abused it will be abused, so NO! Thats why it was removed. Can you just remember the Force Staff at 6.60? Cry QQ River!

Bump.

If you can't Vacuum or Lasso people onto cliffs, the Dagger should be done.

Support.

T-up from me as well. IIRC there is a way it can be fixed so that they can't blink onto not only unpassable regions but all regions where trees can spawn as well.

The Blink Dagger was removed of Venge/Pudge for a reason. Since they have skills that could move Heroes easily, it would be like turning pudge's hook into 2200 range, what is very imbalanced. and like King Jame said, it could easily trap heroes in cliffs, what would ruin games. Force staff work for these heroes, 'cause force staff can't be used to get in a cliff (you get blocked if you try).

EDIT: Now i completely agree with this suggestion. In fact, i created my own suggestion toward Blink Dagger. Also, don't worry with 2200 range hook, that can be coded to not happen.

Saying that Dagger shouldn't be allowed on Pudge to increase the hook length is like saying it should be disabled on Sand King because it's too cheap with Epicenter.

Yes, and also this means :

- Force staff shouldn't be used for Bat Rider since it makes ulti drag longer.
- Force staff shouldn't be used for enchant since it increases the distance travelled by impetus.

I fully agree, why should a hero not be able to use an item, all because it can be abused. Blink dagger should also be able to use on vengeful.

You cant blink and hook at the same time, tards, so there wouldnt be any +2k range abuse z_z

Hero is paused until the hook "return time" expires.

Default Re: [GAMEPLAY] Allow Blink Dagger on Pudge!

I think... its because of...

When pudge cast a meathook(1st location) then tried to blink on another place(2nd place), the meathook dummy's where still on the 1st pudge's location that will surely not look nice. Imagine a Meat Hook dummy pulling a target without the puller(pudge).

Sorry for my bad english...

I don't know, it would be very tough to land a split hook with a blink dagger as Pudge does have that half-second delay after casting Hook.

Unless... my other suggestion is implemented. All part of my plan heehee...
